Summary
RATIONALE: Hyperbaric oxygen may increase blood flow and decrease swelling in areas of the
brain damaged by radiation therapy. Giving hyperbaric oxygen therapy together with
dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for radiation necrosis of the brain.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well hyperbaric oxygen therapy works
in treating patients with radiation necrosis of the brain.
